XDC Apothem Network is a blockchain network that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications. Bridge assets to and from XDC Apothem Network using our secure cross-chain infrastructure.
XDC Apothem Network is the public EVM-compatible test network that mirrors the XDC mainnet and uses TXDC for gas, enabling safe, low-cost pre‑production development. Primary use cases include smart‑contract QA, wallet/exchange integrations, cross‑chain bridge simulations, oracle/tooling validation, and enterprise pilots. It reflects mainnet performance with ~2‑second blocks, up to ~2,000 TPS, and average gas well under $0.0001 per simple transfer, so test outcomes closely match production.
Apothem stands out by inheriting XDC’s XDPoS 2.0 consensus for fast finality, energy efficiency, and ultra‑low, predictable fees while remaining fully EVM/tooling compatible (MetaMask, Hardhat, Truffle). Compared to Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks, ~15 TPS, multi‑dollar fees), Apothem/Mainnet deliver ~2‑second blocks, up to ~2,000 TPS, and sub‑cent gas, providing near‑instant confirmations and stable costs. Activity on Apothem varies with testing cycles, but the network is engineered for sustained high throughput and low latency suitable for enterprise and DeFi workloads.
XDC Apothem Network uses TXDC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TXDC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
